24 News A tireless advocate SQNLDR Brett Green obituary THE Air Force family lost a loyal and dedicated son on September 22, when SQNLDR Brett Green died after a short but brave battle with cancer. About 450 family, service and civilian colleagues attended SQNLDR Green’s funeral held near RAAF Base Amberley on September 29, which included a tribute from No. 36 Squadron. Many who attended remembered SQNLDR Green from his time as Base Security Officer at Darwin, Townsville and Richmond, or as an instructor at the RAAF Security and Fire School, all jobs he made his own. His last posting was XO 2SECFOR, and it was, in his own words, the pinnacle of his Air Force career. CO 2SECFOR WGCDR Tim Anderson spoke highly of SQNLDR Green in his eulogy: “I know of no other officer who gave to his mates so freely of himself, who cared more genuinely, who carried so bravely the gravity of others worries, who touched so many people across our service and our community. “Brett was Air Force to the core; if you had cut him, he would have bled a dark Air Force blue. “His pride in his service, his specialisa- tion, but even more so in the women, men and working dogs of the security forces shone out of his eyes, and through his cheeky smile like a beacon. His advocacy for those who worked for him was as magnetic as it was relentless. WGCDR Tim Anderson said SQNLDR Green was an avid fan of military history. “He loved it. He could also tell the fun- niest joke with the straightest face of anyone you’ll ever meet. Brett saw in his military service the continuation of the Anzac tradition, of mateship and humour – the larrikin – but also the sacrifice and the duty.” SQNLDR Green joined the Air Force in 1991 as a Signals Operator, and commissioned as a Security Police Officer in 2001. Throughout his career, Brett showed an uncanny knack for connecting to and touching the lives of people wherever he worked. He was a tireless advocate for the women and men of the security forces’ musterings, particularly the military working dog handlers and their dogs, who had a special place in his affections. WGCDR Anderson said nothing made SQNLDR Green happier than to watch young personnel enjoying their roles. “Nothing made him prouder than watching them succeed. And if they were doing it with a working dog, well, that just made it all the better,” he said. SQNLDR Green is survived by his wife, Tanya, and their daughters Taylah and Ashleigh-Rose.
